Should you upgrade to Windows Server 2016?

We know upgrading your server OS can be a big investment, both in time and money. So why should you consider making the switch to Windows Server 2016 as soon as possible? Windows Server 2016 is an entirely new generation of operating system.

This will allow you to accomplish your IT and datacenter goals, no matter what they are.

Relying solely on a perimeter security model is no longer sustainable. Attacks have become too sophisticated, and once someone is inside, theyre free to do whatever they want.
